 Disappointing after Syllabus 3 March 20, 2005
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
As an ECDL Tutor I am very disappointed with the latest syllabus 4 versions of this book, both XP and 2000, particularly Module 5 which is short on explanation and high on errors. I loved the Syllabus 3 book which seemed to have been tested and proofread much more thoroughly and even recommended the book to a number of people to buy despite its relatively high cost. I feel that the Syllabus 4 books were rushed out to meet the demand for Syllabus 4 courseware and have not been tested properly. Some modules are exceptions with the Module 4 part being well written with exercises that follow a logical progression. I have spent not an insignificant amount of money on various Blackrock ECDL books on the basis of my satisfaction with the first one and am left feeling irritated and slightly ripped off. The ECDL Foundation approve the materials so they must also share the blame.
 The only ECDL manual that you will ever need to buy! January 31, 2005

I approached the ECDL with trepidation as I am not in anyway computer literate. However, this book has a Before You Begin section that was really helpful. The book is well written and has very clear instructions. There were exercises for each section and sample tests. It also comes with a CD that has extra exercises too.
I liked the fact that it was spiral bound because I could easily fold it back or leave it open on my knee while I was working without it falling off or closing.
You can tell that a lot of thought and work was put into this book. It is well paced, well researched and it is written with the student's needs in mind.
In all, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get the ECDL qualification with one book.
Excellent book for beginners and all ECDL students February 24, 2004

As a tutor of ECDL, I have always used Blackrock Education Centre's text books. This one is every bit as good as the Syllabus 3 book. Written in the same clear and concise manner, students are able to follow it with ease. I can most highly recommend this book to anyone intending to sit ECDL examinations or even to a beginner who is finding their own way around a computer.
